Misfit

"Well then let's get that all set up." His mother said firmly. She was not going to play any games. She would treat Mike as her own son.

"Okay, Mike until then you will be going back home or to an orphanage."

"How long will this take?" Drew chimed in. He didn't want Mike to go to an orphanage or back home.

"Week, months." The man shrugged. "Im really not sure, every case is different. Mike might have special needs after what happened."

Drew growled and looked at Mike. He leaned over and whispered.
"Can you stay with your mom for a little? I can come visit every night. I can even spend the night."

"Yeah........But I dont want to stay in my room...."
He would find somewhere else to sleep.

"Okay baby. It's your choice." Drew whispered, kissing the top of his head.

Mike didn't want to go back, he couldn't step foot in that house again.
"Can't I please stay with someone else?" Mike tried.

"You gotta go to an orphanage." Drew sighed. He wouldn't be able to spend the night with Mike there.

Mike put his head in his hands. He was so scared but he needed Drew to be with him...

"Just go wherever you want boo. Either way you'll end up back with me."

"But I don't want to be alone....."
Mike was tired of being alone.
He needed Drew.

"I have an idea. But I can't tell you now. I'll say it later when we're alone."

Mike gave him a sideways glance.
"Sir, can I have time to think about this?"
"Yes." He answered before stepping out.
"Mr.s Galloway, may I please have a minute with Drew?"

"Course sweety." His mother smiled and stepped outside.

Mike turned to look at his boyfriend.
"whats your Idea?...."

"Well I don't know if I'd call it an idea... it's pretty stupid and could get us in a lot of trouble. What if you just pretend to be staying with your mother and stay with us anyways?"

Mike blinked.
"Yeah....I wouldn't mind that. If anything I would be the one in trouble so its fine." He grinned.

"Alright then." Drew smiled, rubbing Mike's cheek with the back of his hand.

"I am so ready to leave here..."
He had planned on getting a job so he could buy his own place.

"No you're not. You need time to heal darlin."

"But........"
He knew Drew was right but he didn't want to be here.

"Shhh go to sleep, love. Ya need some rest."

"I don't want to....I don't want to have another night mare."
No one would ever know what it is like.

Drew frowned. He didn't know what to say to this.
